Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Latka Gravas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Lombard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lombard has chosen DJ Quik - Tell A Bitch (feat.Suga Free & Jake Steed)) as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Hector Lombard was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kiyoshi Matsumoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Knuckles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matsumoto comes into the arena with Carl Douglas - Kung fu fighting blaring out of the sound system. Knuckles has chosen St. Anger-Metallica as his entrance music. Johnny Knuckles told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
